Mid Week WIP's

Before I talk about my progress on some art work....I have to congratulate our grandson, Ian, for winning 1st place in the Art Show! He won in the pencil drawing category!!! Check out this drawing!! Is he amazing or what!!! We are very proud of him, so congrats, Ian!!! Way to go!!!!

Maybe I should have him do some drawings then I'll transfer onto fabric! Now that's an idea!!!!

Here's the progress on the tree stencil I posted abut last week. I did get the squares at the bottom hand stitched so I'm making progress! I'm using Madeira Lana embroidery thread for the hand stitching the blue areas. Linda Kemshall mentions using the Lana thread in several of her video's, so while in Florida, I did send away for some. So glad I had the right blue to use on this piece. I did send away for more colors as the thread was a good price on the Sewphisticated Stitcher web site. Hopefully, I have enough colors to use on this project and on my other 'tree' I'm working on. I'll show the progress on that piece later this week.

The rest of the pics are detail shots. I haven't decided how to finish the FMQ on this piece but I'm sure it will come to me...soon I hope! Off to play now!

My Art Diary

About Me

With retirement in the fall 1999, I started a new day job of creating art using fabric, paints and beads. I’ve been very fortunate to be able to take classes from some of the best fiber artists. Their influence and direction have given me the ability to create my own art by designing, embellishing, dyeing and painting fabric. I love to add texture and dimension to my work, often by adding different fibers, bead embroidery and hand stitching. I also stay off the golf course by doing my art work, which makes my hubby very happy!
